I don't like paying dealer $75 just to find out why the engine light is on (happens about every 6 months). The electrical is a nightmare. Rear wiper quit working at 30k miles, the locks open and close spontaneously whether the engine is running or not. We have been trapped in the car for a few minutes while the locks were flipping back and forth on their own. My kids have gotten locked in after I put them in their seats and I walked around the car to get in. The ford dealer said the possessed locks are also in the 2002 models of their compact cars). I have put about $4000 into the engine replacing parts that have died before their time.

since buying this vehicle it has performed to every high standard i have asked for in a minivan. the comfort and quality of ride has out performed others in my past vehicles. the only thing lacking is a dvd player not available in 1997,but i will add it later. well done mercury for another fine automobile.

Engine and powertrain is very smooth but seems to be a bit underpowered probably for the sake of gas mileage which is about 25 MPG. Had a problem with the fuel tank until the recall came through. I really like the way the seats can be removed and relocated.

I am one of the hardest people on a vehicle. With this in mind, I have never owned a more practical vehicle than my Villager GS(I think GS stands for"Gotta Speed"). I don't believe there is a ten. This is due to our individual quarks. One mans heaven may be another mans hell. My Villager is constantly driven with absolutly no significant problems. An oversight by a local auto parts store, who sold me semi-metalic brake pads. This vehicle uses 'Ceramic' pads. This error dramatically increased my stopping distance. 'BAD Thing' Otherwise it has been a pleasure to go out and fire up the van and just drive.
